MATH 010 Fundamentals of Algebra, 2 credits
Summer 2006: This 3-week summer session course will be taught on campus as a lecture class in the Math Teaching and Learning Center. The class will meet on campus three hours a day (10:30-12:00 and 1:00-2:00), four days a week (M-Th) for three weeks starting June 12 and ending June 29. In addition to regular class sessions, trained tutors will be on duty from 9 AM - 3 PM every weekday for the duration of the course. Homework assignments will be done online, with online help available in addition to the in-class instructor (Dr. Laura Schmidt) and tutors. Tests are also online and must be taken in class, but homework can be done anywhere an internet connection is available. After the first week, students earning a B+ or higher may arrange with the instructor to skip lectures and work independently, but must take tests in the classroom. Contact Dr. Jeanne Foley (foleyj@uwstout.edu) if you have any questions.
Fall 2006: This class meets 2 days a week for the full semester or 4 days a week when offered as a quarter class. Although the homework and tests are done using an online software program, attendance at daily in-class lectures is required and earns course points (~10% of grade). In addition to these regular class sessions in the Math Teaching and Learning Center, specially trained tutors are on duty 48 hours each week for drop-in help in the Math TLC Open Lab (no appointments needed). Required, daily homework assignments worth ~ 30% of the course grade are done online, with problem-by-problem online help available in addition to the in-person help available from the course instructor and tutors. Tests and quizzes account for ~ 60% of the course grade. These are also done online but must be taken in class or in the tutor lab. Homework can be done anywhere an internet connection is available. After the first 8 class sessions and two quizzes, students earning a grade of B+ or higher may arrange with the instructor to skip lectures and work independently, but tests must still be taken in the classroom. Students may work ahead of the syllabus if desired, and may also take tests early or even finish the entire course early. Contact Dr. Jeanne Foley (foleyj@uwstout.edu) with any questions.
